Big system coming in for Monday, Snow, Rain, Sleet, Freezing Rain you pick?

Weathermap for Monday Tuesday, and Extended for Wednesday. This weathermap is based on the models at 11:00AM Sunday. Weather may actually turn out somewhat different.


We are going to have a fairly strong system move into the area from the southwest late Monday, Right now it looks like the Center of the low pressure will track right over the area, and if this track don't change it will mean that we will get the warmer side of the system. We could get anything from Rain, Snow, Sleet or even Freezing Rain and if it ends out being mostly freezing rain, it could get nasty. I am going to go with Sleet, rain and snow, But later Tuesday, cooler air will wrap in and it will turn to all snow. It may stay cooler up north, so it may stick to being all snow there. Snow Accumulations will depend on where the low pressure goes, and when cooler air can wrap in, I generally picked 1 ti 3 inches for southern areas, Menomonie, Hudson, New Richmond, Amery, St Croix Falls, Barron and Rice Lake areas and More to the north of there, Grantsburg, Siren, Spooner, and Hertel areas should end out with 2 to 5 inches. There will be higher accumulations the farther west and north you go, is what I think will end out happening. If the system shifts, There could be more snow, as much as 6 inches! That is what is making this system questionable, Please bare with me on this one. Temps do not look to be too cold during the system, upper 30s for highs and 20s for lows, this will mean if we do get snow, it will be very wet, and may cause trees and branches to break. Stay closely tuned to weather forecasts and warnings, They could possible be a dangerous system.

Monday, Mainly dry during the day, Possible starting off sunny before it clouds up. highs will be in the upper 30s Maybe low 40s Monday Night, a good chance of Sleet or snow, lows in to upper 20s.

Tuesday Sleet, Freezing Rain or snow likely. highs in the upper 30s. Gusty winds Tuesday Night, turning to all snow, cooler, lows in the 20s.

Wednesday Snow Ending highs in the mid 30s lows in the low 20s.

Looking Ahead Temps don't look Too bad, better then what we had on Thursday and Friday for highs, Highs look to mainly be in the upper 30s to low 40s, lows in the low to mid 20s Some Snow chances on Thursday, may have to be something to watch, then Some chances at Sunshine by next weekend. So when will the warmer air come in? Right now we are in a stubbornly cool spring pattern, but it looks like Warmer air may Finally start to move in about midweek next week. Right now, it looks like possible 50s may move back into the forecast? But we will see.
